Top Questions on momentum
- An object of mass \( m \) is projected from the origin in a vertical \( xy \)-plane at an angle \( 45^\circ \) with the x-axis with an initial velocity \( v_0 \). The magnitude and direction of the angular momentum of the object with respect to the origin, when it reaches the maximum height, will be:
Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): Knowing the initial position \( x_0 \) and initial momentum \( p_0 \) is enough to determine the position and momentum at any time \( t \) for a simple harmonic motion with a given angular frequency \( \omega \).
Reason (R): The amplitude and phase can be expressed in terms of \( x_0 \) and \( p_0 \).
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:- A particle moves under the influence of a force in the XY-plane such that the components of its linear momentum $\vec{p}$ at any time $t$ are given by $p_x = p \sin t$ and $p_y = p \cos t$. The angle between $\vec{F}$ and $\vec{p}$ at that time is

Notes on momentum
Concepts Used:
Momentum
It can be defined as "mass in motion." All objects have mass; so if an object is moving, then it is called as momentum.
the momentum of an object is the product of mass of the object and the velocity of the object.
Momentum = mass • velocity
The above equation can be rewritten as
p = m • v
where m is the mass and v is the velocity.
Momentum is a vector quantity and the direction of the of the vector is the same as the direction that an object.
